A longer decay is not going to solve your high frequency problem. High frequencies will bypass large capacitance. You need to filter the unwanted frequency. This is why you may see a U10 (0.10uf) capacitor across a electrolytic. The electrolytic takes care of the low frequencies, the U10 takes care of higher frequencies.
